Job Description
Position Summary
We are seeking a Manufacturing Systems Engineering Leader to improve factory performance through the design and optimization of production flow, capacity utilization, inventory management, and operational stability. This role applies data-driven operational principles to reduce lead time, improve throughput, lower WIP inventory, and increase schedule reliability across manufacturing operations.
The ideal candidate understands that manufacturing performance emerges from system behavior — including variability, bottlenecks, queueing, and resource constraints — and uses analytical methods to improve overall factory performance rather than isolated local metrics.
Job Roles
+ Systems thinker--sees the business and its operation holistically; understands actions and reactions; considers multiple pathways of potential effect before decisions; thinks strategically about interventions with an eye toward scale
+ Optimizer--consta...
